OUR HISTORY

Chengetai was founded in March of 2019 by a group of young individuals motivated to help girls in Zimbabwe who struggle to obtain sanitary wear. Chengetai’s motto is “Chirere mangwana chigozokurerawo”, which loosely translated, is to “nurture a child today, tomorrow she will nurture a nation”.

We seek to provide ease of access to sanitary wear to girls and women who are unable to have a smooth sail during ‘that time of the month.’ This problem impacts the girls in various spheres of their lives including and not limited to continuous education, available sanitary facilities, freedom of movement and lack of confidence.

Throughout the years, we have expanded our programmes to be inclusive of men such as to bring forth to the community that the problem of period poverty is one to be tackled by every member of the community.
